DNA ENTROPOPHORESIS: A BALANCE OF ENTROPY AND DIFFUSION IN COMPLEX NANOCONFINEMENT

October 3, 2011
Author(s)
Samuel Stavis, Jon Geist, Michael Gaitan, Laurie E. Locascio, Elizabeth Strychalski
Entropophoresis - motion caused by an entropy gradient - is a novel nanofluidic method to direct the self-transport of biopolymers that established a new paradigm of nanofluidic functionality with broad relevance to lab-on-a-chip technol-ogy. Here, the

Nanoslinky: DNA Entropophoresis Down a Nanofluidic Staircase

October 4, 2010
Author(s)
Elizabeth A. Strychalski, Laurie E. Locascio, Samuel M. Stavis, Michael Gaitan
Almost all nanofluidic devices for biopolymer analysis have been limited by one or two confining structural dimen-sions or the application of external forces for biopolymer manipulation, which has restricted the scope of related lab-on-a-chip technology

Separation and Metrology of Nanoparticles by Nanofluidic Size Exclusion

August 11, 2010
Author(s)
Samuel M. Stavis, Jon C. Geist, Michael Gaitan
A nanofluidic approach to the separation and metrology of nanoparticles is demonstrated. Advantages of this approach include nanometer-scale resolution, nanometer-scale to submicrometer-scale range, mitigation of hydrodynamic and diffusional limitations to
